It is unclear how serious the potential buyers are at this stage of the discussions, which are continuing, but there is at least one player who isn’t at the table. Quebecor Inc.’s Videotron Ltd., which has made no secret of its interest in Freedom, is absent from the talks, according to another source whom The Globe is not identifying.

Videotron is also considering national expansion as an MVNO, in alternative to buying Freedom.

Key in any purchase discussion would be the matter of access to Shaw's considerable fibre backhaul assets, indispensible to the new operator.
